Mir down the narrow straight at Red Bull Ring-SpielbergMir gets into the zone on the Motorland Aragon grid12the Teams’ Championship and Manufacturers’ Championship thanks to the commitment and work of both riders. Joan also managed to get 3rd in the Riders’ Championship, which was tough in a very competitive year. He has the ability and potential to win the title again for sure. He has consistency, speed, and a smart brain. He’s able to put in strong results even when luck goes against him. We’re already planning how to put all those elements together again for 2022 and we trust in him completely. Alex is a totally different rider, and this season has been tougher for him. When he is switched on, he is one of the hardest riders to beat - he has big potential and speed, but sometimes he seems to struggle to turn that switch on. He always has a lot of motivation pre-season and during the start of the season, like we saw this year, he was very fast at the beginning. But when he has a crash or a mistake that costs him, it seems to spiral and he struggles to get back into the swing of things. We need to work with him because, when we find the way to activate his switch, he can be unbeatable. So my message to both our riders is simple; we are challengers, and together we will fight to win again!”“The 2021 season has come to an end, and we have to admit that it’s been a hard year from a technical point of view. From the start of the season we could see how much the other manufacturers had improved compared to us, and we realised that our advantage was smaller than last year. We needed to keep our heads up and keep our focus, improving the bike over the course of the season, introducing things such as the rear ride height adjuster. After a successful 2020 when we won the World Championship, we worked to develop the bike in our usual way, which is to improve many things in a small way rather than take a huge leap. Not only is this our philosophy, but it was also necessary due to the engine development freeze for all manufacturers. However, we were very impressed with the most visible part that we introduced; the ride height adjuster. When we brought it, mid-season, it was just a first prototype but it made us happy to know that a newly-developed part could be introduced immediately and work well – this is largely KEN KAWAUCHIIn this blog, Team SUZUKI ECSTAR’s Technical Manager Ken Kawauchi talks development and explains how every action has an opposite reaction.“It’s not as simple as ‘more power’ - everything has to be balanced for the best package.” Ken Kawauchi, Technical ManagerTeam SUZUKI ECSTARMotoGP
